    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    ‘Sunshine Charm’ is the pretty in pink counterpart to ‘Sweet Kate’. The shocking gold foliage is subtly accented with little girl pink flowers. It’s interesting form and foliage colour makes it useful for contrasting with other perennials in part shade to part sun situations.

    Add a little sunshine to your garden with this new spiderwort! Glowing gold foliage creates a lovely foil for the lavender-pink flowers. This vigorous grower is very long blooming and easy to grow. More floriferous and compact than 'Blue and Gold' ('Sweet Kate'). Holds gold color and does not burn in the sun. Place in areas of half to full sun and it will absolutely charm you!
